Our Sound & Influences

Obsidian Metal meticulously crafts somber, atmospheric doom imbued with cold black metal elements and intricate ambient synth passages. Our music is a tapestry woven from crushing despair and glimmering hope, reflecting the diverse influences that shape our sound.

We draw inspiration from:

• Agalloch’s evocative forest imagery and folk-tinged melancholy.
• Alcest’s dream-like shoegaze overlay and ethereal soundscapes.
• My Dying Bride’s haunting melancholy and gothic doom grandeur.
• The crushing weight of funeral doom acts like Swallow the Sun and Nortt.
• The darkwave atmospheric depth of bands like Fields of the Nephilim.
• The expansive, dynamic shifts of post-metal pioneers such as Cult of Luna and Isis.

Through these influences, we forge our own distinct voice, creating music that resonates with the ancient sorrow and the defiant spirit of humanity.

Our Debut Album: Obsidian Veil

Our debut full-length album, “Obsidian Veil,” is a sprawling epic that delves into themes of ancestral memory, societal decay, and the eternal struggle against unseen forces. Each track is a chapter in this narrative, inviting the listener to confront the shadows within and without.

• 1. Bloodline Ignited: Ancestral rage awakens in the veins of the modern lost, echoing chants from the shadowed woods of old.
• 2. Masks of Dominion: They wear suits, crowns, robes, and chains—but behind all faces, the ancient enemy grins.
• 3. Temple of the Forgotten Flame: A ruined sanctuary buried in frost and ash still burns with the last sacred fire of resistance.
• 4. Broodkind Ascending: Spawn of the great deceivers slither in high places, manipulating futures with invisible hands.
• 5. To Pierce the False Sun: The black sun rises—constructed lies sold as light must be shattered by blade and truth.
• 6. Ashes in the Circuitry: Ambient industrial textures meet funeral doom—technology as the new altar of enslavement.
• 7. The Rites Return: Blood rites, moon rites, ancestral spells—revived in hidden places beneath neon ruins.
• 8. No Light Beneath the Crown: A monarchy of shadows feeds upon the minds of the meek. Doom swells in protest.
• 9. We Who Remain: The few who remember. The few who resist. The few who still dream.
• 10. Stone Bones of the Silent War: Ancient ruins speak of eternal war. The dead still guard their cause beneath the earth.
• 11. March of the Pale Star: Post-metal crescendo leads this track as a symbol rises in the sky—a star that heralds either freedom or annihilation.
• 12. An Oath in Obsidian: The final track. A funeral dirge turned battle hymn. The band swears under night sky and bone fire: We rise.
